Ok, I opened my email this morning, and it contained a copy of our hotel confirmation at the Monte Carlo, forwarded from Eddie:

We are booked at the Monte Carlo for 3 luxurious nights with All You Can Drink accomodations for July 24, 25, and 26th. 2 rooms at $69, $135, $145 per night. It's $175 per person plus tax. I had to pay for the first night up front which is a little less than my share.....so we can just settle up when we get there if that works for everyone. Can somebody pass this info on to Mikey as I cannot send outside the company from my location

'All You Can Drink' Accomodations. Yep--these are my travelling buddies.

I can't wait to get there. I got three months to save, so I'm gonna take a PHAT bankroll with me--gonna need it--staying on the strip.

Also, I think I'm going to get a new digital camera before then, too, so hopefully there will be LOTS of photo evidence. It will be the Mother of All Trip Reports II.

Feel like a kid sent to bed on Christmas eve, except Christmas is 90 days away.

Think I'm staying at the Tropicana. Wifey said to forgo the expensive room so there is more loot to gamble with. With a quote like that, she's gotta be up to something. Time to start watching the credit card cause I think its gonna be big.

We considered the Tropicana, also, but Eddie talked us out of it. I definitely want to visit there, maybe gamble a bit, and check out the pool and the casino legends museum before the place gets imploded and rebuilt into something more befitting their location...

(I heard that they've stopped booking meetings and conventions there after next June... )

Do the free spin outside Trop & you might win tix to Follies. Bazootch--is your wife coming to Vegas with you for the July trip, or is she spending your money on something else?

"All you can drink"? Remember at Monte Carlo you can request a fridge for your room--no charge. I made the request when I made the reservation last year, but our friends just asked when they got in and we both got them. Far better than filling up the tub with ice each day Not sure yet if we'll make a pilgrimage off-strip to buy alcohol & diet coke like we did last year or not....

I got the Canon Power Shot S200 for my birthday last year and love it, the only thing that sucks is it takes a special battery & charger. We lost my charger in the move and it cost $60 to get a new one.

I'm one of the many on the late July crew also(July 23- August 2)- my husband and I are staying at the Rio for two nights and then at Fairfield Grand Desert for a week. This week was a wedding gift, and we're using it to celebrate our one-year anniversary!
I haven't seen any mention of the Grand Desert anywhere- probably because it's a timeshare resort and it's very new. You can purchase 3-night and 7-night stays there, though, I think. They are great for the longer stay because they have washer dryers, jacuzzi, full kitchen and separate living room and bedroom(s) in each unit. I'll let you know how it is!
